. . .so i'm going home to spend the whole weekend lavishing presents on her. did you send your mother a card yet? hmm?
last night i finally got around to watching the video of new order playing 'love will tear us apart' on jimmy kimmel or whatever. am i the only one who found it completely f'ing painful to watch? i mean, sure it's sorta their song but GOD—it sounded like an oldies pop jam. man.
last night's back-to-back episodes of the OC, on the other hand, were off-the-charts awesome. coked-up trey molesting marisa! seth licking whipped cream off a bikini-clad james king! crazed christians! ooh la la.
anyway, just got the celebrate brooklyn lineup (i think brooklynvegan may have beaten me to the punch). standouts are a triple bill featuring stars, new pornos, and the sadies (6/25), and ozomatli on 7/14. go here to see the whole schedule.
what else. . .the austin city limits lineup looks pretty sick, but i'm not sure i can handle any more multi-stage/tent music festivals. i'm totally old.
looks like there isn't too much going on this weekend. here's what i got. . .

um...new order doesnt sing love will tear us apart. that's not their song, that song is by joy division.

sure. but as new order contains 3/4 of the original members of joy division, it's still pretty much their song. or at least *sorta* their song.

Come by his close pressed mouth and anguish.
